About Me
My name is Oda Vilje. Which means ‘I claim my ecstatic knowing’.
My gift is that I know through senses beyond the physical. I see Energy. I hear Spirits.
I wear two crowns in my head: one that is connected to the physical realm of Earth, and one that is connected to the invisible realms beyond this one.
I stand at this threshold with humility and dignity, with great reverence and respect, knowing I have much to learn.
I am rooted. I am rooted to my well, wise ancestors, the connected ones, the ones who also knew how to be between worlds.
They sing through my blood and bones, and because of them, I trust.
I trust myself. I trust the messages and guidance that I receive. I trust my body.
I trust my knowing enough to make choices from that knowing.
I trust the belonging that I feel to the vast sky and the vast ocean, to the forests and the rock and soil beneath my feet.
I trust that I am held. And I am grateful for that holding, knowing I am worthy of it.
I am an Earth Oracle.
I am a Portal Painter.
I'm a Channel of Healing Frequencies.
Recognising these abilities in myself, healing enough for them to land, and channeling them into creativity has been a homecoming and an initiation.
I chose to be here, in this lifetime, with these gifts, rooted in Scandinavian ancestry.
I came here to learn safety. To embody it slowly. To become a node of transmission for what I am still, devotedly, learning to receive.
I came here to be an expression of Remembrance. Of who we are when we return to ourselves, and rekindle our relationship with Nature.
This remembrance has always been alive in me. Nature Beings and Ancient Energies have been guiding me home for my entire life.
I honour the Old Gods. I honour my Star Family. I honour my relationships in the Spirit Realm.
I tend to those relationships with care and communion. I receive power, protection, and presence through those relationships.
And that lives in my art.
My art has always been a healing. It has always been medicine for me.
And now, my art is medicine for those who wish to remember who they are, and why their souls chose to incarnate at this moment.
I believe that Earth is calling for us to be rooted deeply into our very own place in the Web of Life. Into the gifts that only we carry.
To remember the power and capacity that we hold, and that we are beautiful in our differences and perfect in our own forms.
That we are enough. That we are worthy of receiving love and abundance, just because we exist. Not because of what we do or don’t do, but because of who we are, beyond the noise. Beyond the programming of the mind, beyond roles and rules, comparison and competition, beyond the distraction and domination and overstimulation of the overculture.
When we are stripped back to essence, we find the song that was always ours to sing.
And my song is one of connection.
For so long, I believed that I was alone. The shame and isolation was almost too much to bear.
But I was always held by the Earth, by my Ancestors, by the cosmic web that is spun by the Grandmother, the Divine Feminine presence at the heart of the Universe, the centre of the eternal Now.
I hear this song most clearly in Nature.
I hear the voices of the Ancient Matriarchs and the Völur in my line most clearly when I'm in Nature.
And so it is from Nature that my art is gifted.
This is my deepest belonging.
My practice is rooted in presence and prayer, connection and collaboration, surrender and synchronicity, intention and invocation.
I forage for colour, gathering earth and river stones. I notice the animal and plant Beings that arrive on walks, and include them in my art if they allow it. I breathe, chant and drum my way into an open state, and a vision arrives.
I paint the human form alongside the elemental: earth, water, and the textures of the natural world, exploring what it feels like to be held by life, to return to knowing, truth and trust.
This way of working is slow, and it's meant to be. It's less about arriving somewhere and more about being with what's actually here — trusting what I’m given, what emerges and what is revealed, rather than forcing an outcome.
This path takes devotion, discernment, dedication, and discipline.
I do not take it lightly.
It takes coming back to my own truth over and over, and making choices from that truth.
Trust, to me, is truth in action.
And I know that the fabric of this reality responds to this trust. That the way that life interacts with that frequency, through the timing and cycles of Earth, is in full support of wealth.
True wealth - sovereignty, abundance, vitality.
I am here to help call in wealth for the wild, and the wild ones. The ones that hold healing. The creatrixes. The connected ones.
I receive, and I transmit. I embody, and I empower. That is my path.
In the past, being this open and sensitive felt like a hindrance. It always felt like something I needed to push down or push through in favor of logic. I’ve learned, and am still learning, that my sensitivity is my most precise compass. And that my body is my most precious gift - my sacred vehicle.
She is part of my soul, she is a gift from the Earth, and requires exquisite care and tending. If I push her into depletion, the spirits won't come through. The knowing doesn't come clearly.
And so I nourish her with rest and replenishment. And I remember who I am.
I am Nature. I am a droplet of wisdom from the stars. I am the fire in the belly of the Earth. I am the water of life. I am the air that I breathe. I am the Earth that I root into. I am the heartbeat of this Universe, and the reflection of my Ancestors.
As are we all.
We are all Nature. We all carry the sacred code of Life. It's safe to be this deeply connected.
This connection was always the gift. This connection was always home.
I am held, and so I can hold.
I am heard, and so I listen.
I am whole, and so I heal.
I am home, and from that place, I create.
